DAILY OPERATION
Always allow 10-20 minutes of preheat time before loading the unit with product.

OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY
Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at the end of each day of operation.
Do not leave the unit in operation without an attendant.
Turn thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle periods. It will take only a few minutes to regain
operating temperature.
Use spatula to push excess grease into grease drawer after each load of food is cooked. This will
reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.
Do not leave the unit at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods. This will cause food
particles and grease lm to carbonize.
"Season" cooking surfaces with non-salted vegetable oil to reduce product sticking.
MONTHLY LUBRICATION/INSPECTION
Apply two (2) drops of non-toxic mineral or vegetable oil to counter balance shoulder rivets and plastic
spacers.
Check and clean brass rollers to make sure they are rolling and not sliding on the cam
surfaces of the counterbalance.
Check the bolts, screws and nuts, tighten if necessary.
